Reactions of hexafluorocyclobutanone with metalloid compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ic50023a011

Hexafluorocyclobutanone, a highly polarized ketone, reacts with boron halides to give esters of 1-halohexafluorocyclobutanol. Similarly, silanes add to the ketone to give hexafluorocyclobutoxy derivatives. Phosphines add in the opposite direction to give 1-hydroxyhexafluorocyclobutylphosphines.
